"With Mayo Clinic's sports medicine center located within our training facility, our players will have access to cutting edge medical technology within the most respected and recognized medical system in the world," Timberwolves and Lynx CEO Rob Moor said in a statement. "It will be a state of the art training center that will allow us to develop our players to their maximum potential, giving us a competitive edge on the court and in recruiting and retaining top talent in Minnesota."

"Most NBA teams build their practice facilities in non-descript office parks, but we are putting our new training center in the heart of a thriving downtown, providing incredible access to our fans," Moor continued.

I like this. Apparently a lot of cynical people would rather see another failed venture with public $ wasted. If I read correctly, this will be a clinic for anyone who chooses to attend, as well as providing additional retail spaces, (albeit minimal.).
